School may be on the horizon, but don’t count out those summer nights just yet! There’s still plenty of time to hang out with your friends, go on summer adventures, and skate and dance the night away. Fun Spot’s annual Back to School Skate and Dance is officially on the schedule. Don’t miss the fun on August 25th!

Back to School Skate and Dance

The best night of the year is finally here. Catch up with your friends without the pressure of teachers, homework, and early morning wake up calls. Our back to school bash offers teens one last chance to make celebrate freedom. Roll into the rink at 7:30 pm for 3 hours of roller-skating fun. Admission is $8, and rentals are an extra $2. You can also bring your own skates (no wheelies, please) or upgrade your rentals to speed skates or inline skates for an extra $2. Love to dance until dawn? Bring an extra buck and shut the party down. After 10:30 pm we’re transforming the skating rink into a dance floor! Teens can show off their moves until 11:30 pm, then come back Saturday at 11 am for Skate-Bounce-Roll.

What to Expect at the End of Summer Bash

If you’ve ever attended a Back to School event at Fun Spot, you know we go hard. This year we’re stocked with fun prizes, exclusive giveaways, silly games, snack specials, and more. Don’t be sad about the end of summer. Make it the best night yet!

It’s that time of year again. Back to school sales are in full swing, and educators are digging into another year of lesson planning and classroom budgeting. Field trips are a fun way to keep kids engaged while giving them a fresh perspective on the lessons they learn in the classroom. Looking for a fresh adventure to reinforce STEM lessons? Book a field trip at Fun Spot skating center.

Benefits of STEM Lessons at Fun Spot

We’re now booking STEM field trips for August, September, and throughout the fall. If you haven’t attended a field trip with us before, you may be wondering how skating helps kids master science. The truth is that there are plenty of STEM lessons in roller-skating. Our program offers a unique, hands-on approach to science, math, engineering, and technology, reinforcing the lessons kids learn in the classroom. Many students are kinesthetic learners, so the hands-on approach is a major plus in getting lessons to stick. And we tailor lessons to a variety of ages and curriculums, so that each teacher can get the most out of their time with us.

What to Expect from a STEM Field Trip

When you arrive at Fun Spot, the kids will meet our certified STEM instructor. For one hour the students will dive headlong into a learning adventure full of interactive education, tactile learning, and creative problem-solving. When the lesson ends, kids can break for lunch or a snack. Then they’ll have two hours of open skating to up the fun, keep them active, and give them a fresh perspective on the STEM lesson they just learned. Depending on the lesson you choose, your students may learn about:

Summer may be the perfect time to participate in outdoor activities like swimming, fishing, and going to the beach, but there’s another kind of activity that also defines the summer: family reunions. With children out of school, it’s not uncommon for relatives from near and far to gather together again for some family fun. But nobody wants to sweat it out at the park to catch up with family. If you’re looking for the perfect family reunion venue that both children and adults will enjoy, then Fun Spot skating center is the spot for you.

All For Fun, and Fun for All

While the summer weather may seem like an ideal setting for a family reunion, sunny days can often be too hot, making the outdoors a difficult place to bring families together, especially ones with young children or elderly people. At Fun Spot, families can gather together for a day of catching up and roller skating. Skating is an activity that’s been around a long time because of how much fun it is for everyone! When you take advantage of Fun Spot’s group and party rates for your family reunion, you can plan an event that’s a perfect fit for everyone’s needs. Children will be to skate around on the rink and catch up with relatives that way while the grown-ups can reminisce on the sidelines or join the fun.Fun Spot has something for everyone. By booking a family reunion here, you can get access to our roller skating rink, music, games, activities, food and drinks, and more! Let us put together the party package that best fits the type of celebration you and your family love most. Visit ourFacebook page for more information, or contact us today to start planning your family reunion.

A day of fun at Fun Spot won’t break the bank. While some class field trips may require you to sign form after form or put down a lot of money, Fun Spot’s group and party rates are affordable for schools in Belleville.

This school year has undoubtedly been filled with joy, learning and new friendships. So why not celebrate all of those things outside the classroom with one final party to cap off the school year? Fun Spot is the perfect place to host your child’s end-of-school-year party. Learn about party and group rates, orcall us today and to set up your child’s end-of-school party.

There’s only one kind of party that beats a skating party . . . a themed roller-skating birthday bash! Themes are a fun way to get kids excited, show off your creativity, and add some fun decorations to your celebration. You can even ask the kids to dress up! What kids party themes are trending this year?

4 Awesome Kids Birthday Trends

Pokémon. The pocket-monster trend may have died out with the older crowd, but for kids, it’s still alive and well. This is great news for parents for two reasons: it encourages adventures and it makes a great birthday party theme!

A book bash. Does your child love Pete the Cat or The Day the Crayons Quit? Encourage their love of reading and get an awesome party theme while you’re at it. Hand out goody bags of used crayons, taping a funny “I quit” note to each one. Have the kids share why they love their white (or black, or brown) skates. Ask parents to send their child’s favorite book as a birthday gift, or put the birthday kid’s favorite book in the goody bags.

Star Wars. In a galaxy far, far away you had a Star Wars birthday party. Now it’s your child’s turn! The Force is strong with this franchise, and the theming options are endless.
